Every employee is a Shepherd. Above all else, Shepherds are stewards of the people and resources entrusted to them. Shepherds feed and care for all people consistent with the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22, Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control). Our supreme example of a Shepherd is "The Good Shepherd", Jesus Christ.
